Affleck first took on the role of the caped crusader in last year’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and is due to reprise the role in the upcoming Justice League movie.

The actor previously revealed that Batman’s nemesis in the standalone film will be the DC Comics character Deathstroke. Deathstroke, an assassin with superhuman strength, speed and agility, first appeared in comic book form in 1980 but did not cross paths with Batman until a 1991 comic.

However, it is now unknown whether Reeves still intends to make Deathstroke the film’s main villain.
